Grandmother's Flower Garden

This is the name of a classic quilt design typically done using the paper piecing technique. These are very beautiful & quite labor-intensive projects. As I don't typically quilt, I decided to make a Grandmother's Flower Garden in tatting many years ago.

Since letting the project hibernate for a while, it's back on the front burner & if I didn't have the flu, is be making great progress during my week of vacation. Pictures will be posted later. :-)

Olive mohair scarf

This pattern is from Victorian Lace Today by Hand Sowerby. I've finished the center panel, and am now working on the edging. This yarn is Capra in "olive" purchased at Cast-On Cottage in Roswell.

And... Another one!

Project bagette complete

This bag looked a little tricky, but it was super easy!   And hey, I still have more fabric. But, only 2 more zippers. By the way, those little closer clips are brilliant!

My First blog post

So, I finally have a blog. Am I the LAST person to get one?  ;-)
I'll be uploading pictures of tatting and knitting but really, I might just update my Ravelry Notebook, instead.

I recently went shopping at Lovin' Knit and bought a fab new project bag. It's compact and perfect for a pair of socks. I'm knitting my current socks TAAT, toe up with Priscilla Gibson-Roberts style short-row heels and toes. I also found a super soft skein of Mulberry silk (in my new favorite color). It will eventually become a shawl, I think. Or at least a scarf.
